Wonderman is Alive?

Leave a comment

My apologies everyone. I was under the impression that the Wonderman TV show was canceled during the Hollywood strike, but now that the strike is over, it has been reported that it will start production around Thanksgiving.

Wonderman and many other MCU shows will be part of the “Spotlight” section of the MCU, which means they aren’t part of the larger MCU continuity. Ok, let me see if I get this right. Marvel is now making shows and potential movies that won’t interact with the bigger world ending and Avenger Level Threats…and this is a good idea?

Which tells me one thing. The writers realized that added too many chaotic things to the franchise and there is no way to tell such stories in a logia manner anymore. Maybe having multiverse incursions, Celestial beings, Soul Eating Dragons, and a million Skrulls may have jumped the shark in the logical department.

For note, I wrote about how the Punisher wouldn’t be able to be in the MCU because why would he care about drug deals and gangsters when an alien invasion happened? But back to Wonderman, it’ll flop. This is more of a vanity project now than adding a new and exciting character to the MCU.

Taylor Swift beats Martin Scorsese

Leave a comment

In a not-so-shocking twist, the Taylor Swift movie beat out Killers of the Flower Moon in the theaters. One is about the behind-the-scenes of Swift’s latest tour and the other is about how Indians were treated poorly by white people.

The final numbers on Swift’s budget hasn’t been released yet, but I imagine it’s not anywhere close to Martin Scorsese’s $200 million-dollar, 3-hour flop, which only brought in about $120 million dollars. Doing some quick math, that means the movie lost AT LEAST $140 million dollars, and that’s not including the marketing costs.

The only saving grace for this movie is that Apple+ bought the rights to host the movie, which may have dipped into its profits. I’m very cheap, and I’d buy a streaming service instead of going to the theaters since a month of it costs less than 2 tickets to the theater.

Swift’s movie, on the other hand, doesn’t really need much in marketing. Much like The Sound of Freedom, her movie has a strong build-in audience that would essentially promote the movie themselves online. Even if the movie makes no money at all, Swift will still make a lot from the tour and her music sales, so the tour is just an extra thing for the fans.

Whatever the final numbers may be, Swift will be a winner on this, and Scorsese will only make a tiny splash.

We Need The Iron Heart Show

Leave a comment

Yes, you read that correctly. I am annoyed that the Iron Heart TV show is postponed indefinitely. Not because I want to watch the racial antics of Riri Williams, no, because I want a theory, I had to come true. Williams attends MIT, but do you know who else goes to MIT? Ned and MJ from Spiderman.

My prediction for the upcoming Spider-Man movie is that Peter will come in contact with Venom, turn into Black Suit Spider-Man, be responsible for the death of MJ, and Ned will assume the role of the Hobgoblin.

Ned has always been “the man in the chair”, but hasn’t really built his own tech as of yet. Going to school with Riri and potentially going on some adventures with her will give Ned the means to create his own suit one day and take revenge on Spider-Man for the death of his friend.

Inside Out 2: Gay and Lame

Leave a comment

With Disney deciding to make everything “Lame and Gay” Inside Out 2 is the perfect movie to pander to the alphabet soup community. I have already mapped out this plot, and lets see how close I get.

Reily is starting to get feelings for another girl in her class

It’s been revealed that Anxiety is the new feeling in the movie, and Reily will go through this emotion a lot as she comes to terms with how she feels.

The Anxiety will grow more when she has to tell her parents about how she feels.

Her father, the toxic white man, will quickly resent his daughter because he’s a bigot, causing Reily to run away from home again.

Then her father will search for her, find her at a park in the rain, and he will love her again and accept her for who she truly is.

The movie will end with the girlfriend coming over for dinner and the father being totally cool with it.

Does that not sound like the typical Disney crapfest of today? Would you be surprised that Disney thinks gay children is something that will bring in money? That the entire LGBTQRSTUV community will watch this movie 10 times in a row, and it’ll be the biggest box office success of all time?

No. No, it will not, and Disney knows that too, but they think clicks, Twitter praise, and controversy will sell better than making a solid movie with a good plot, relatable characters, and a strong message.

Why Wasn’t Heimdall Soul Stone?

Leave a comment

Here is Google’s explanation of Heimdall’s all-seeing eyes:

“Heimdall sees and hears, all thanks to his extrasensory capabilities. His sight can extend across all Nine Realms and from the Bifrost Observatory, he can see 10 trillion souls”

So, he can see 10 trillion souls, and his eyes are orange, so why not make him the Soul Stone? Does that make more sense than flying to a distant planet, killing something you love, and then somehow ending up with the stone in your hand?

The Vormir concept still makes no sense, and is Thanos has some kind of Infinity Stone detector, attacking the ship that Heimdall was on makes sense. On that note, how did Thanos know where all the stones were? He just was flying through infinite space to somehow interact with the ship that Loki was on with the Space Stone? And then he just parks a block away from Dr. Strange’s house to get the Time Stone. But I’m getting off track here.

Long story short, Heimdall made the most sense as the keeper or the vessel of the Soul Stone and not Vormir, were the Red Skull was just watching over for some reason.

Tom Holland is James Bond?

Leave a comment

Well, that explains why he did the movie The Crowded Room. Hollywood does this a lot. Degrading people. Making them do things they wouldn’t normally do for a bigger role. The Rock did his endorsement of Joe Biden and his TV show Young Rock get green-lit. I’m not saying this is a Harvey Weinstein situation, but some higher-up wanted to see Spider-Twink get railed out.

If it’s true, and Holland is in the lead to get this role, man is that bad. He can play only one role, the Greek with the heart of gold. He’s not the tough guy, he’s not the cool guy, he certainly isn’t the one banging 10s, he’s the “Aw shucks” guy. I was rewatching Casino Royal before I wrote this. Daniel Craig looks like he can mess someone up.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is up there, too, and he looks the part. And rewatching his fight scene in Bullet Train, he looks good in a 3 piece throwing punches. Taylor-Johnson has a Kraven movie coming up, and he looks tough.

Sadly, I read they want to make Bond more “sensitive,” it just means turning him into a soy boy, so if that’s the direction they want to go, then Tom Holland is your man.

Blood and Honey Killing Loki

Leave a comment

We live in a fun time. The Loki show is losing a massive number of viewers per week, and Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is getting a sequel. Yes, a low-budget slasher flick about Disney animals killing people is more profitable than a high-budget show about a world-known character. And why? Because one is entertaining, and the other is just bad.

Why is Disney sinking huge chunks of its money into shows and movies that aren’t making any money or being entertaining? How can any Disney budget be justified now? It’s all just a CGI mess with expensive and unlikable actors. I don’t see any hope for any of these projects going forward.

Can you imagine if Disney didn’t hide the Sound of Freedom and put it in theaters? That movie made more money than The Little Mermaid, Quantumania, and Haunted Mansion combined, and those were all highly advertised and big-budget products.

Disney needs to right the ship sooner rather than later; otherwise, we will see their collapse in the next few months and not years.
